During Trump’s first criminal trial, there has been plenty of ranting and raving from the defendant’s side. They’re clearly scared that he’ll be found guilty, so making a scene is about all they have left to do.

But no lawyer knows how to make a scene like Alina Habba, who’s been Trump’s attorney for a while. And now, because the hush money case is criminal, and Habba isn’t a criminal attorney, she is now called his “legal spokesperson.” She will do anything to stay within the Trump orbit and it’s just so gross.

Now a hot microphone finally caught the reaction to her nonsense, and it turns out reporters find her hilarious. And not in a funny ha-ha way. They think she’s a joke.

In between farts and naps, the Stormy Daniels case has been gaining steam. He’s simultaneously trying to appeal the other NY case against him from Letitia James.

In a break after former National Enquirer publisher testified that Trump paid him to buy the exclusive rights to the story of one of his affairs and then never publish it, essentially creating a non-disclosure agreement, Ms. Habba went on a tirade to reporters.

She appeared briefly to rant against the “witch hunts” against her notorious client, and when a reporter asked her a question she didn’t like, just like Trump, she finished her tirade and walked away.

But as she strolled out of frame, you could hear reporters on a still-live mic laughing their heads off. What were they laughing about? Well, Habba came out and gave a little speech, that was truly laughable. Anyone attempting to defend Trump, and to this degree, is ridiculous.

ALINA HABBA: “Good afternoon. I just left in the Civil Division with the other witch hunt — Ms. James — to come here and see our client.

The fact that we have two courts, not one, criminal and civil, being used against one man because they cannot beat him in the polls, is a disgrace to American judicial system. He should not have two teams of lawyers here today. He should not even be here today because he did nothing wrong. It is the epitome of a witch hunt.

I just left where a judge asked us where there are cash- cash, bond, cash sitting in — Ms. James wanted to argue and say that our cash somehow wasn’t green enough.

We wasted time. The judge made a comment saying he thought that money market accounts could go down under the amount. He doesn’t even understand basic principles of finance. But this was the man that decided that we owed money and my client committed fraud.

We are going to attack every single one. One hour, and the attorney general and that judge realized quickly that they had no idea what they were talking about. We came to an agreement that everything would be the same. We would modify terms and that was it.

This is where your taxpayer dollars are going, America! Right here! Witch hunt after witch hunt. President Trump’s company was worth more in that case than it is now.

And now what? We’re here because of something that happened when he was in the White House. That wasn’t even wrong! It was not wrong!

You hire lawyers to solve problems. We solve those problems. You pay them. That’s it!

This is a joke! It’s an affront to the American Constitution. It’s an affront to our judicial system. And it’s an affront to every lawyer that cares about their license, that cares about what is right and wrong!

I am sick of coming in front of the press and saying this, but you have to because you people need to understand what is going on. God forbid you put an accounting thing in for legal counsel! It’s legal counsel!

And now our taxpayer dollars, my time, our attorney’s fees are all here because they’re afraid of 2024. And you know what? They should be! because the American people are not stupid. They see what’s going on. Thank you.

REPORTER: Alina, one question? Is Trump’s family (inaudible) across the street?

REPORTER: (inaudible) (laughter)

It’s increasingly clear why he hired her. But that doesn’t make it any less funny. Watch:
